I only use lean burn on the highway, where pulse and glide is less practical. And yes, you do have the delay before lean burn kicks in.

If you have an MPGuino, you can usually see the LB kick in sooner on the Guino than on a ScanGauge. Because the SG only updates about every two seconds, but the Guino updates 2x per second. My point is, it might not take quite as long as you think for LB to happen.
No, but I use TC-W3 oil as a fuel additive which serves the same purposes (top end and fuel system lubrication, cleansing via detergents). I've used it long before I bought the HX.

My Ultragauge seems to update about once per second, maybe a little quicker. I've tried accelerating just before I am sure it is engaged (O2 sensor typically shows 0.015 before showing 0.000) and it isn't.
